I would not have caught it myself before the release, and I've added "applypatch" to the set of checks I need to do before uploading. What happened is that I locally copied the 21.2.47 tree then reverse-updated it to make a 21.2.46 tree for the patch base. I'm pretty sure that this would screw up any file adds and removes. I suspect that on some platforms this would result in missing files; you were lucky to get a sucessful build. Of course, Martin's xre script gets this right. He does this by keeping the previous "master" workspace around ... I don't have one yet! Too bad I didn't see it was a necessity, not merely convenience. Martin, if downloading the Urania tarball and makepatch'ing against that doesn't validate with applypatch, I'll get back to you for more advice. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
